After Kingfisher Airlines, Deepika to now become face of Vistara

Vistara today announced the appointment of Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone as its brand ambassador.

Vistara, whose 51 per cent stake is owned by Tata Sons and the rest 49 per cent by Singapore Airlines, did not disclose other details such as the contract period and fee that it would pay to the actress.

Deepika will kick-start a new campaign from tomorrow, Vistara said in a release today.

The campaign intends to elaborate on the core interpretation of the brand promise of feeling of looking forward to flying again, it said adding the integrated campaign will be deployed across multiple platforms including TV, digital, print, outdoor, cinema and airports.
